The New York Knicks are planning to take the floor without Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler on Sunday, according to multiple reports.
Both Anthony and Chandler are officially listed as questionable due to knee injuries.
However, Knicks coach Mike Woodson told reporters after Saturday's practice in Los Angeles that he's planning as if neither player will be available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
"Yes, we went through shootaround thinking that [Chandler and Anthony will not play]," Woodson said. "We got these [other players] in uniform ready to play."

Remember: Shump was used at PG in his rookie season. Can be much more effective w/ the ball in his hands. Shump's position development key.

Shump's offseason focus is developing better skills at PG, which team could use him at more next year. Developing midrange shot key. #Knicks

As D-Wade said the other day, "No one's 100 percent this time of year." Many procedures don't get reported on -- how teams manage injuries.

Regarding Smith, many NBA players (& pro athletes in general) get some kind of knee treatment/procedure in the offseason. Keep that in mind.
